Heartbroken families and well-wishers begin three days of funeral rituals in rural northeastern Thailand for the victims of one of the country's worst ever mass killings
Thailand's Prime Minister has ordered a swift probe into the massacre and police said they will question 180 witnesses.
Hundreds gathered in temples on Saturday, offering candles, toys and prayers to mark the lives of more than 30 mostly child victims of a gun and knife rampage that took place at a childcare centre in Nong Bua Lam Phu province. Mourners lit candles before coffins topped with floral wreaths and framed photographs of smiling children, including toddler Pattarawat Jamnongnid, dressed in a pink sports shirt, who was one of two child victims nicknamed "Captain", after a famous actor.
